WOW! THANKS! Lots to think about. I'd love to get back there again! Thank you also for delineating attraction and composition. More to read about. Exactly what I'm hoping for. Thank you, VBL!
No problem my friend, it is just my opinion.
I just wanted to clear it up - composition and contrast does have lot in common. There are many situations where contrast is created by the composition or vice versa.
What Sean wrote above, is of a great help in practice. Look at your display and let your eye stop somewhere. If it stops, check if that is the main subject of your photo. It is not universal rule of the composition (there is none anyway), but it is very practical help that can improve your photography.
Looking for the contrasts is something that will come by experience.
Just keep shooting and have fun.

Thanks for the guideline-of-thumb, the original photo isn't typical of my photos. It is an oddity that for some reason appealed to me but for what reason I cannot put my finger on.
Here's some more typical shots (MF, FD24 f/2 or FD50 f/1.4):
